COLORA EKORBD. El JOHNS Toronto, Ont July 13 Jeffries gives out the follOTvins; statement u "The statement that I have repudiated by promise to fight Johnson Is absolutely untrue." Jack Johnson went through Hammond yesterday from his training quarters at Cedar Lake, spent a few hours burning up the boulevards in his "benzine buggy," agreed to fight twenty rounds with Al Kaufman August 27 and paid his respects to Jim Jeffries, who Is credited with having announced that he would never fight Johnson. Altogether it was a busy day for the champion heavy-weight. There was a knowing twinkle in Johnson's eye when he discussed the latest statement from Jeffries. "Jeff never intended to fight me," said the big colored fellow. "lie talked a great deal and allowed the public to believe that he was going to jump right Into a ring as quickly as he finished his theatrical engagements. I

WOLGAST CONFIDENT THAT HE

WILL BEA J

- Los Angeles, Cal., July 18. Battling Nelson will defend his title as world's lightweight champion tonight when he meets that sturdy little boxer, Ad Wolgast of Milwaukee. Wolgast was mentioned as a possible candidate for Nelson as early as six months ago, when he had cleaned up the featherweight division with the single exception of the 122-pound champion, Abe Attell. Wolgast has Improved wonderfully during the last few weeks. He has trained faithfully for tonight's event, and will be as full of fight aa a young panther when he faces the battle-scarred Dane. Wolgast fights along the same slugging lines employed by Nelson and the Milwaukee mauler figures that his advantage in youth makes him better able to cover the ten-round route at a hard, grueling pace. Wolgast, after he had finished work yesterday, was in a confident frame of mind, which argues for a hard fight. "I have had this fight with Nelson in sight for a long time," Bald he, "I see in Tuesday's meeting a great chance for me to win the lightweight title. In fact, I have everything to gain and practically nothing to lose. I injured my left wrist while knocking out Ted dy Peppers at Kansas City recently and this has been giving me a little trouble during my training work. But for this fact I woxild think that I was a sure winner over Nelson. As it is I am go TRIANGLES SPLIT EVEN SUNDAY The Triangles played the Hammond Grays Sunday at the Grays grounds. It was a tie game until the eighth inning, the seoe being 2 and 2, and in the last half of the eighth the Grays had two outs and their right fielder got a twobase hit, and the next man up hit one to Hess, the shortstop for the Triangles, who fumbled it, scoring two runs. Hess made four errors in the eighth, losing the game for the Tri angles. Ed Bunde, playing left field for the Triangles, played a good game, get ting eight putouts and three hits out of three times to bat. The score: Triangles 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 Grays 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 4 0 6 The Triangles beat the Moonshiners Sunday by a score of 3 to 2. It was a good game, each team getting two runs in the first inning and in the second the Triangles got one run. In the rest of the game there was not a man who seen first base on either side. Batteries Basso and Tlel; Webel and Borgus for the Triangles. FAT JOB FOR GARRY HERRMANN Cincinnati, O., July 13. Mayor Markbrelt today announced that he will offer the position of director of public safety, carrying a salary of $8,000 a year, to Garry Herrmann upon the reds' owner" return from Los Angelea. f

knew he was bluffing all the time for the purpose of swelling the box office receipts of the theatrical syndicate for which he was working. Had Jeff told the truth that is, that he never intended to light me he would not have drawn 30 cents on the stage. "Jeff felt all the time he could not get into condition, even wnen he was telling the public that he would fight me if he could get back In his old-time form. Right down in his heart there also was fear that he could not whip me even If he were able to get Into shape. He didn't fool me a bit. but he buncoed the public, and it is up to him to square himself with the fight fans. "I am ready and willing to fight any one providing I get my price. I'll take on Langford whenever any club offers sufficient Inducements, and as for Kaufman, I agreed today to take him on. Te go with Ketchel is still on eo far aa I know. We have forfeits up with W. W. Naughton In San Francisco and I do not see how Ketchel and Brltt are going to get around this." ELSON TO-NIGHT ing to put up the hardest scrap that I am capable of. Nelson will know he has been through the mill when we are finished." Nelson spent today quietly around his camp at Doyle's South Side Athletic park. The champion only grinned when told of Wolgast's talk, and of the fact that the Milwaukee lad has found some financial backing. Billy Papke wants its distinctly understood that he will weigh but 162 pounds when he faces Jim Flynn on Wednesday night. "The hot weather down here has kept me at weight nicely," said the Kewanee knight. "I see where the papers said that I would weigh 18 pounds. That's all wrong. I can't stand for being run out of the middle-weight class Just yet awhile. "I will only be a middle-weight when I fight Flynn, but he will think that I am a heavy-weight before I get through with him. I will be disappointed if I don't stop Flynn before the limit." Brother Ed Papke today received a telegram from the New Orleans promoters offering him 35 per cent of the gross receipts to fight Hugo Kelly there on August 15. Papke will make no plans until after his fight with Flynn. He will then return to Kewanee for a short visit. The Papkes state that they are soon to become residents of this ritv piiiv Is negotiating with a real estate dealer tor a home site In southern California. STAHL TURNS TRICK Jake Stahl. the game-busting kid, again filled the breach yesterday for the red-hosed troupers from Boston Bay. His deadly war club didn't figure in the run-getting rastlme until the tenth Inning, but when the blow descended it turned local Joy into a murking sort of gloom, putting the scarlet sox on top in the final game with Sullivan's white shins, 4 to 3. That ancient adage, entitled "It takes only one to do it," ran true to form in the brain-racking achievements of the final period. "Doc" White, flushed by his triumph of Saturday, again eaayed to flop the speed boys. Two lusty wallops at the start of the eighth worked a change of thought for the elongated tooth carpenter. Then Frank Smith burst upon the scene only to lose his goat in the tenth when Wagner and Stahl bunched vicious drives at Billy Purtell after the piano juggler had crippled Gessler. It was J. Garland's Dounoer that counted the Boston gardener. M'FADDEN RE-ENTERS THE RING TONIGHT New Tork, July 13. Elbows McFadden will re-enter the ring, tonight at Glen Falls, where he meets Frankie Fay. Fay is looked upon as a comer After he stops a few stops a few of McFadden's 1 nicest little elbow thumps he may I change his mind. McFadden knocked out Joe in 1S99. i-. . .

Thereafter the cars left at one-minute intervals until all were on their way. CUBS GET 3 OUT OF 4 Philadelphia, July 13. Chicago made it three out of four yesterday and further added to the quakers" humiliation by making the last game a shutout. It was an easy victory for the cubs despite the rather close score, and qu accepted an easy chance in the first inning there is no telling how many innings the contest would have gone. TIGERS BEAT"" STARS The Lansing Tigers put one over the Lansing Stars by an awful score of 22 to 6 yesterday afternoon at Lansing.

OHIO (Special to The Times.) St. John, Ind., July 13. That the St. John team is slowly but surely rounding into form with a chance to make a good showing for the balance of the season, was shown by last Sunday's game, which the local team won at Morocco last Sunday. St. John defeated the Morocco team by a score of 8 to 7. The game was a close one, but would have been easy "pickin's" had it not been for the fact that Morocco had strengthened itself with a number of Valparaiso players. In addition to this the umpire had to be defeated. St. John played with its regular team. The local team plays the Columbia League of Hammond next Sunday, July 18.
